Christian Poems

When I say, "I'm a Christian"

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I'm not saying,"I've been saved"
I whisper,"I get lost"
Thats why I chose this way

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
Needing God to be my guide

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak
An pray for strength to carry on

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting that I've failed
And can not ever pay the debt

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are all to visible
But God believes I'm worth it

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache
Which is why I seek God's name

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I'm loved
